Download or read book Combined Turbine magnetohydrodynamic Brayton Cycle Power System for Space and Ground Use written by Lester D. Nichols and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A combined turbine-MHD generator operating in a Brayton cycle with a NERVA nuclear reactor is considered, both for use in space and on the ground. The combined system is compared with an all-MHD Brayton system and an all-turbine system. The combined cycle systems have higher thermodynamic efficiencies than the other systems. The combined system with 1500 K turbine inlet and the all-MHD system with generator efficiency of 0.8 have the lowest specific recuperator plus radiator mass of those systems considered. But the combined system considered has an average radiator temperature of 200 to 250 K lower than the other. For ground use, a cycle efficiency of greater than 0.55 can be achieved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The light-bulb heat-exchanger concept is investigated as a possible means of using a combustion heat source to supply energy to an inert gas MHD power generator system. In this concept, combustion gases flow through a central passage which consists of a duct with transparent walls through which heat is transferred by radiation to a radiation receiver which in turn heats the inert gas by convection. The effects of combustion-gas emissivity, transparent-wall-transmissivity, radiation-receiver emissivity, and the use of fins in the inert gas coolant passage are studied. The results indicate that inert gas outlet temperatures of 2500 K are possible for combustion temperatures of 3200 K and that sufficient energy can be transferred from the combustion gas to reduce its temperature to approximately 2000 K. At this temperature more conventional heat exchangers can be used.
